Bronko Nagurski famous quotes

Last updated: Sep 5, 2024

  • I think very highly of myself. I think I'm capable of a lot of things on the field.

  • The butterflies I get are not if somebody boos me in the crowd, or somebody talks trash about me during the week, or somebody on ESPN rips me. It's the pressure that I'm putting on myself.

  • A few weeks later, I’m in a fluorescent-lit classroom in Chelsea awaiting the start of the official Mensa test. I’m sitting next to a guy who’s doing a series of elaborate neck stretches, like we’re about to engage in a vigorous rugby match. He’s neatly laid out four types of gum on his Formica desk: Juicy Fruit, Wrigley Spearmint, Big Red, and Eclipse. I hate this guy. I hope to God he’s not a genius.

  • You have no control over what the other guy does. You only have control over what you do.

  • Religious apologists complain bitterly that atheists and secularists are aggressive and hostile in their criticism of them. I always say: look, when you guys were in charge, you didn't argue with us, you just burnt us at the stake. Now what we're doing is, we're presenting you with some arguments and some challenging questions, and you complain.

  • When the guy says go, you start to suffer - or you might as well not be out there. It's a small piece of your life, make it hurt.

  • You never really know the guy until you sit down with him.

  • Startups often win because it's easier to see what comes next when you don't have to worry about maintaining what came last.

  • I’m doing pretty well. If you don’t get married, you can’t get divorced. Why couldn’t we learn from the devastatingly low percentage of successful marriages that our last generation went through?

  • Ive always really been into science, and in the last five years Ive gotten into theoretical physics and the origins of the universe.
